“White Collection” is an installation which brings a new perspective by reflecting lights on various objects collected by himself. The motifs are mainly fluff such as dandelion, butterbur sprout, willow and asclepiadaceae, honeycomb and dead leaves which have been bleaching during the winter. Indeed all of them are various plants based on white. As basically he collects them in his hands and only processes for maintaining its shapes, these objects could keep nearly the natural appearance. He said that his objects are the device for you to rediscover the beauty of nature around us.

In 2014, he got the Sapporo Culture Encouragement Prize and has been kept creating art works without loosening the hand.

The White Collection is a kind of specimen work that serves as an intermediary with the environment, with the theme of the cycle of life, coexistence, and symbiosis. The motifs are mainly the fluff of dandelions, butterbur, willows, and asclepias, as well as various white-based plants such as beehives and dead leaves that have been bleached during the winter. Basically, they are all collected by their own hands, and except for the processing to maintain their shape, they are kept almost as they are in nature. He says, "My work aims to mediate as a device that connects the nature and human activities underfoot." Even after receiving the 43rd Sapporo Cultural Encouragement Award in

■「思考するアート展」コトバノカタチ
日時：2015年12月3日（木）〜2016年3月16日（水）
会場：北海道立帯広美術館
●館内展示室：White Garden　●中庭：Snow Pallet 8の2つの作品を設置。
The latest installation show of “Snow Pallet 8” by Toshihiko Shibuya who has been creating artworks aiming for a resonance to a place is held from December 3rd of 2015 to March 16th of 2016 in the Court yard of Hokkaido Obihiro Museum of Art.

This time I installed some new objects.
New objects are pieces in the shape of ‘Z’. And other pieces are three-storied objects.
今回はｚ型の新型オブジェと2層及び3層構造のオブジェを新たに設置したことです。どちらも積雪状態によってどんな「かたち」が形成されるか？が楽しみです。帯広は元来積雪の多い地域ではないため、作品設置の2日後に積雪があって以来、今回が3週間ぶりの積雪です。近年は異常気象が多く、先の積雪は読めませんが冬の日々のうつろいを伝えてくれることでしょう。

Snow Pallet is an artwork where fluorescent paint has been applied to the bottom of an object in order to express the snow’s vivid reflection by the snow’s surface. It is an installation work that from time to time changes the landscape according to the amount of snow and sunlight, and by a number of objects of different heights.
